Inquilino

Inquilino refers to a tenant or renter. It is a Spanish and Portuguese word directly translating to "tenant" or "lessee" in English. The term denotes an individual who occupies and uses a property (such as a house, apartment, room, or land) owned by another person (the landlord or lessor) in exchange for rent.

The rights and obligations of the inquilino are typically defined by a lease agreement or rental contract. These agreements outline the duration of the tenancy, the amount of rent, the responsibilities for maintenance and repairs, and the conditions for termination of the tenancy.

The term is commonly used in legal and everyday contexts to describe someone who has the right to inhabit a property belonging to another based on a contractual agreement. The concept is essentially synonymous with the English term "tenant."
